Picture In My Ear of Minneapolis, one of our favorite record labels, is home to First Communion After Party, Daydream Machine, Chatham Rise, New Candys, and other outstanding contemporary psychedelia. The label has just dropped a digital release and accompanying video (below) of an exceptional single from Barcelona, Spain quintet Stay. "Smiling Faces" features Andy Bell of Ride on guitar and was produced by Owen Morris, whose credits include The Verve's second studio album, A Northern Soul. You can grab a lot of bang for a buck by purchasing the track on Bandcamp. Picture In My Ear has given us the heads up for a full-length called The Mean Solar Times late this year or early next. Meanwhile you can listen to more from Stay on the band's Soundcloud page.
